“great investment for the money”
This is the best vacuum I have ever owned. I didn't know if it would be worth it to spend the money on the top of the line vacuum, but was sick dealing with appliance that just didn't work or last. It made a real difference. The vacuum is quiet, efficient, good power.
I even like the dirt detector, I thought it was little much, but it gives me a better idea of when to stop cleaning in a certain area. Previous vacuums i have had tended to throw the dirt around when using the beater bar. This does not. I like the fact that you just have to press a foot pedal to disenage the beater bar and use the bare floor brush.
My only complaint would be the design of the bare floor attachment. I wish it was a little better shaped for getting into ticht places and cleaing base boards, but all you have to do is change to another attachment and the problem is solved
